"THE PROGRAM COLLECTION"
Wallace State's extensive and growing collection of research materials includes books, periodicals, microfilm, microfiche, CD-ROM disks, computer programs, family folders and more. Some sources cover the entire United States. The collection is centered on Alabama, neighboring states, the Old South, Kentucky, the Civil War and Cherokee Indians.
Non-credit Geneaology classes are periodically offered through the Wallace State Center for Career and Workforce Development's Continuing Education program. The current listing of continuing education classes is available at Continuing Education.
